Task 5 - Storyboarding and scripting of shortfilm

As a group we used approximately 20 minutes of class time to initially have a 'brainstorm' to generate possible ideas which were in line with the theme we were given.
Once our idea was established we considered, (verbally and with a few ideas on paper) the steps and progression of shots that would formulate the film succinctly. After that (short discussion) we used our "creative flow" to create and develop the film as we went.

Task 4- Summary of services offered by youtube

To upload our short film (below) to this blog, we initially used Adobe Premiere then uploaded onto youtube.
The services provided by youtube are:
Video's are hosted and served from youtube. Users can watch videos on youtube directly or video's can be embedded in other locations such as facebook or blog sites. Video's are limited in lenght. Users can rate or comment on others videos- this (they say) gives a sense of community to the site. You tube has also partners with others and now provides some video's that have commercial content (where other video's have content restrictions, if commercial property)

Fiddle dee dee gimme coffee

Our short feature was created the day after St Patricks day (18th of March). Hannah (pictured) had gone out the night before and come to class (late) still adorning most of her Paddy's day costume. She was our inspiration....

The theme given to us was "over coming adversity". At the time Wintec'c new 'hub' was not established , the hub itself was a construction site and we wer having to venture to the other side of the campus to find a decent coffee.

Our film shows one way a bedraggled little leprecon could reslove this issue.
